The downvoting is fairly open to the usual ‘abuse’ that goes on with all buildr stuff. The image that’s currently solo winning the itembuildr was almost voted off early on, while some others were voted up.

Easiest thing seems to be to put the removal votes much lower (and by lower, I mean -15 or such), or to just scrap getting rid of entries. Makes it easier to vote later on but by then, you’ll probably have lost lots of good entries for dull ones, just because they were downvoted to remove the competition. It won’t fix things completely (people’ll still rally up support for theirs) but it’ll help level things a bit.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but how about a “trash bin” page where we could browse the -5 or worse pictures. Any upvotes gained in the “trash bin” would not gain chocolate scoops, and the vote score would need to get back up to 0 to be plucked out of the bin.

I think that eliminating submissions at -5 in itembuildr is unnecessary. That’s done in forumbuildr to keep the submissions at a manageable level for voting as people continue to submit throughout the week. But since the itembuildr submissions are all done at once so that the pile of voteable items never grows and are limited to one per alt, I see no point in eliminating them at all, at least while the number of total submissions is as low as it is.

Level 69 Permanoob

“Permanoob”

At least, eliminating them in the very permanent manner they are eliminated now seems excessive. They could drop from regular voting, but when presented with two options, I think a lot of people would like to be able to vote some of the discarded ideas ‘out of the trash’ so to speak.

Fortunato is right, though. There are a lot of bad entries that should be eliminated. We may not agree entirely on which ones they are, but there are probably a decent number which we would all agree should be.

“The Infinite Sadness”

It’s true there are bad ones, but I think when the voting started yesterday, there were about 70 total submissions. Given that a lot of them can be viewed per page and that the better-voted ones move up to be viewed sooner anyway, I don’t think going through that many is a big deal. But dropping them out at something like -10 would work too.
